Upgrading a cloud image, I couldn't reproduce it. I also tried installing mate-desktop-environment-core + mate-dock-applet (because it depends on bamfdaemon) before upgrading, and still couldn't reproduce. I will install a cosmic mate desktop and see if I can reproduce this problem when upgrading.
However, the dpkg terminal log mentions bamfdaemon and mime-support as possible culprits on the trigger loop. So I am adding these and dpkg as well to the bug.
In my opinion, this sounds more like a symptom of some trigger loop not caused by the kernel that causes dpkg to stop, which leaves the kernel unconfigured.
